      The judges aren’t even holding these assholes in contempt for repeatedly violating court orders. If lawyers are held in contempt they can be disbarred which can destroy their careers, even more of a deterrent than a short time in a cell.

      This keeps happening because these judges are refusing to use the tools they have to uphold their rulings and the law. If there is no enforcement there is no law which is exactly what we are witnessing.

        The Marshall Service should be moved under the Judicial. Separated from the Executive branch for explicitly this type of circumstance. Existing separation of powers are clearly inadequate.

          ICE is pulling a bunch of racist chuds. Imagine if the Marshalls pulled a bunch of folks who’d say, “fuck it, I’ll arrest these chuds because I think it’s right.” Same energy, different purposes.
